Empty Heaven

‘Midsommar meets Jennifer’s Body in this small-town cult horror which had me gripped from page one. From the terrifying town lore to the ride-or-die teens at its heart, Empty Heaven is the perfect read for Halloween — or any time of year. Quirky, creepy and an absolute blast!’

— Kat Ellis, author of The Devouring Light

“A beautiful, horrifying dream. Freddie Kölsch is a genius.”

— Courtney Smyth, author of The Undetectables

Reviews for Now, Conjurers:

“This sensational YA debut blends tense, terrifying horror with dark humour, queer romance and hugely original storytelling.” Guardian

‘This book is CHARM ITSELF. It’s a high-octane high-camp horror funfair that is so smart and so edgy and funny and heartfelt and loving that I think teens who love it now will still pull it off the shelf when they are 40. Now, Conjurers is an evening with a movie from Blockbuster that’s rated slightly too high for you to have legally rented it and the biggest, trashiest bag of popcorn, staying up until 3 AM with your friends and then having really savage nightmares afterwards for a week.’ – Tamsyn Muir, author of Gideon the Ninth

‘This sensational YA debut blends tense, terrifying horror with dark humour, queer romance and hugely original storytelling.’ Guardian

‘An absolute 90s, technicolor, fever dream of a novel. Now, Conjurers takes readers on a ride that is, at once, tender and terrifying. I’d follow Nesbit and the North Coven anywhere.’ – Sasha Peyton Smith, NYT bestselling author of The Witch Haven

‘A rollicking and thoughtful take on the be-careful-what-you-wish-for trope. Kölsch holistically integrates serious issues with a deft touch that keeps the book both eerie and light in pleasantly equal measure.’ – Kirkus starred review

Freddie Kolsch is a connoisseur and crafter of frightful fiction (with a dash of hope) for teens and former teens. She lives in Salem, New England with her high school sweetheart-turned-wife, a handful of cats, a houseful of art, and a mind’s eye full of ghosts. Now, Conjurers is her first novel.
